@Shakes69 @Cam_Jourdan Other than saying it’s an honor to play in front of a serial rapist (proven in court) and possible pedophile (yet to be proven).

Cameron Young was asked what it was like to get a thumbs up from President Donald Trump after his victory Sunday at the Cadillac Championship: "It’s very unique. He's nothing if not a very, very interesting man. He's very powerful, and it's an honor to get to play in front of him. Hugely grateful to him and his family and his organization that has these beautiful properties and allows us to come and play great golf tournaments on them. "This is a special place and great championship golf course, I'm thankful to have it back in the schedule."

@HumbleFlow How much wealth did England rip out of all those colonies? I guess there really is no such thing as a free lunch.

hey so the next time we’re at parties where a full-time employed c!s white person says “our joy is resistance” or whatever can the rest of us agree to blurt out “your white joy is apathy though” in response?

Sometimes, the cross of singleness is so heavy. I just want someone to share my life with. It feels like no one truly gets that.

I've reached a place in my life where I've stopped trying to be interesting. Cool. Smart. Whatever. Stopped collecting experiences to talk about. Stopped reading things to sound smart. Stopped having opinions I don't actually have. Stopped pretending to care about things I don't care about. It took years to get here. Because the world says be interesting. Be fun. Be loud. Be someone people want around. So you perform. Until one day you're sitting somewhere surrounded by people and you feel completely, utterly hollow. Because none of it was you. And something inside finally whispers: enough. You stop performing. You slow down. You become more present. More honest. More still. You say less. But what you say is real. And you realize the most interesting people aren’t trying to be interesting. They don't give a shit. They’re just fully, unapologetically themselves.

@Chizitere_xyz women lack a fundamental judgment with regard to risk assessment and survival instincts

The risk assessment in this "bear vs man" discourse is fundamentally broken, and watching women confidently choose the bear is peak internet delusion. Y'all will meet up with anonymous Tinder matches every weekend, leave clubs with strange men just because they drive a luxury car, go home with celebrities from backstage, and voluntarily date literal drug lords. You take massive, unchecked risks with strange men every single day. But drop you in a hypothetical forest, and suddenly a man is more dangerous than a 600lb apex predator just so you can win a gender war argument? The performative IQ is completely in the mud. Please rest.

It’s not about the bear. It’s about why that feels safer.

Lol. Rolling your eyes at the performative philosophy of a member of the most corrupt family in American history is apparently 'fuming'? Although if there was anything to be mad about these days, I think objecting to people lighting the world on fire so they can make a killing in prediction markets and kickbacks is probably it. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

@johnkonrad I appreciate your long and thoughtful post. But Trump is a monster. He’s a terrible human being. One of the most vile leaders who has ever led. The fact is he doesn’t lead at all. It’s disappointing that someone who is obviously intelligent cannot see him for who he is.

Ryan was once a friend. He’s been out sailing on my boat. I helped him sketch the initial pivot to writing about the Stoics. Sadly, this isn’t his most shocking video. That distinction belongs to the ones featuring his kids at Trump rallies. He’s a smart guy and a deep thinker, but Trump has him tied up in knots. What made him popular is the unique, insightful advice he gives. That earned him a roster of “celebrity” friends, mostly authors, who reciprocated with network connections and advice of their own. His closest friend is @RobertGreene, who is genuinely a great person. Ryan worked as his assistant, and Robert introduced us. Both are voracious readers. Problem one: Robert is a dork (the best kind), while Ryan is the kind of guy everyone in high school liked. Put another way: Ryan is socially motivated. Robert is introspective and observant. Problem two: Robert had brutal experiences in the workforce and wrote The 48 Laws of Power, in essence, to understand why he kept getting screwed by alpha males. He wants to help people understand the world around them. He isn’t tilting at windmills. He’s offering insight grounded in historical context. Ryan wants to actually improve the world itself. I genuinely believe his motives are good, but unlike the actual Stoics, he lived a normal life that turned into a very charmed one. Ryan’s social radar is phenomenal. He reads trends and knows how to ride them in a modern context. But I don’t think this is an act. He genuinely seems to believe Trump is a monster. How did he arrive at that false conclusion? I don’t know for sure, but we share many mutual friends, and I can trace where our thinking began to diverge. What made me reject the popular “Trump is bad” narrative in our old friend group is the Bronx. My childhood there always lingers in the background. I was (briefly) an EMT in the Bronx. My mother was a visiting nurse in the projects. My father was a firefighter when the Bronx was burning. I’ve thought hard about the liberal policies, and a few conservative ones, that produced the war zone surrounding me. I’ve spent decades working alongside people with hard jobs: soldiers, first responders, offshore oil drillers, merchant mariners. I understand why Trump’s base loves him. I understand why they agree with his policies. Even that wasn’t enough. After January 6th, I had to reevaluate my feelings toward Trump. I hated the Democrats’ slide toward Marxism. But could I keep supporting Trump after so many first-term failures? So I read roughly a dozen biographies, not just about Trump, but by his friends and associates. People who loved him. People who hated him. A truer sense of the man began to emerge. Not all “good,” but realistic, intelligent, and possessed of a deep love for Americans of every type. What makes Ryan so smart is the sheer historical context he carries from a lifetime of reading. He can plug real, useful historical lessons into almost any problem. But you absolutely must understand the full context of a problem in order to fix it. And like the actual Stoics, you have to index the good you want to do against the first-hand disasters you have actually seen. Ryan genuinely wants to fix America, but he is unbalanced. His historical context runs deep. His modern context is superficial. Here he’s trying to solve a problem he has incorrectly indexed as “Trump is bad,” without firsthand exposure to the sufferings of real Americans who have lived through real danger and tragedy. He’s plugging that deep historical context into a superficial understanding of the problems Trump is actually trying to solve. The result? Frustration, anger and rhetorical bombardment that’s almost the polar opposite of stoicism.

My colleague and I left $20 on a $309 bill at a Michelin star restaurant last night, and the waitress looked at us like we’d just insulted her grandmother.We split it—$10 from me, $10 from her. The service was fine, nothing exceptional but nothing wrong either. Just standard polite service at a place where the cheapest appetizer was $24. When she picked up the check folder, she opened it right there at the table, saw the two tens, and her face actually dropped. She snapped it shut, forced a smile, and walked away without saying goodbye.We were barely out the door when I heard her telling the hostess something that ended with “…can’t believe it.”I know Michelin spots usually expect 20%, but we’re talking $60+ on food that was good but not life-changing. Am I wrong for thinking the tip should match the service, not just the prestige of the address? Or was I supposed to empty my wallet just because they got a fancy plaque from some committee?

It’s in my experience that the toughest people with the best sense of humor often experience the most debilitating forms of depression. Dark humor arises from dark circumstances. Humor is often the best medication to dispel forms of sadness. Comedic relief exists for a reason. The hardest thing to wrap your head around is when nothing has really gone wrong. You haven’t faced some ridiculously large obstacle that’s thwarted you in your growth. Instead, depression is often a culmination of things that really don’t matter that much. Everything hits at once, it comes in like a storm that couldn’t exactly be predicted. Though the signs of a blowup were there. The weather network didn’t exactly notify you. Sometimes the only way out is to laugh your way through it

Rolling Stone moved Eric Clapton down from the top 10 of greatest guitar players of all time to 35 because he admitted to being Covid "vaccine" injured & refused to discriminate on entry to his concerts based on "vaccine" status. They even admit the reasoning in the explanation!

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out. He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations. Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs. If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose. linkedin.com/posts/gautam-d…
